Just Simba

I got my money back, I guess thats all that counts. Even after he backed out, I wasnt worried about getting my money back. His reputation was worth a way lot more than R75k, mine sure is

Been browsing the hub for years, never signed up till recently. I didnt think that I was taking a risk, as the sellers details all checked out on Facebook, Bikehub and his Bank. I never for a second thought that my money was at risk when dealing with a well known businessman

Is that possible, even though the deal was not concluded?

Hi guys, I would love to hear your thoughts on sellers changing their minds last minute. I agreed to buy 3 items from a seller here on Bikehub, we agreed on a price and I immediately paid a R75k deposit, sight unseen. 3 days later I asked if he could drop the items off at the LBS close to him for me to arrange courier with them. He then tells me that all of a sudden only 1 item is available as there is another interested party in the other 2 items and that I shouldnt pay the outstanding R50k balance. I was furious and demanded a refund, not sure if I over reacted, but I cant imagine that that is an ethical way of doing business, especially not on such a community platform.

I can actually identify with this, might even adopt a name change in the near future

I'm glad you brought up education, with a decent one you would be one of those execs that dont care about the cost of the entry, you know, successful... Its Simba, not Cat Boy, get it right. It's not that hard. Unless you would like me to refer to you as C*mshot from now on?

Yes, but what can you get for R60k, because thats what it costs per rider

Challenge accepted, see you on Sunday the 16th of Jan

Relax bru, you know that its just an online thread, right? No need to take it so seriously Cool name bru

You're too sweet If I say yes, does it automatically increase my post count? Unfortunately the answer is no, I am just a boy with a dream to race with the pros like they do on TV

Wooooohooooooo! Bargain

I thought you read my post about not being able to afford it either and hoping to do it for my 40th... I thought we were friends...

Hahahaha, awesome! Thanks guys

1000 posts to get taken seriously here?!! Holy moly, I'll have to up my daily posts! Cant be treated like this for 125 days!

Hahahaha, awesome! I thought people would be happiest on Fridays. I'll remember that for next time I'm on my cycle

Evidently... I have dont the math, this is my 8th post. If I post 8 times a day for the next 10 years, then I'll equal your post count of 29k. You're definitely a pro, bro

You seem to know a lot about golf...

What usually happens on Fridays?

Our office has a shower, so I just pack clean clothes and get ready there

Could've fooled me with all the cry baby posts. People still play golf?

Thanks, looks like I am nailing it at this bikehub thing. Just a bunch of grown men complaining about sh!t, right?

By "target market" I am referring to local mountain bikers that can afford to partake as well as international riders. Plenty guys out there paid their own way or saved up over a period of time for their entry. You don't see them whining about it here The short of it, they can charge what they want and couldnt be less bothered about a few trolls on bikehub that can't afford to enter anyway

If you need to justify the entry cost then it probably means that you cant see the value And if you cant see the value it's probably because you're not part of their target audience anyway To me its a bucket list race, will do it for my 40th next year Can I afford it, no Did I create a thread on bikehub moaning about it, also no
